The next wave of uneducated, unskilled, etc., etc., will be the Mexican drivers, who are willing to work harder and cheaper than us American citizens, for whatever economic or social reasons. ============================================== That is closer than you think. And, they love to go to...

I don't think it is a issue as to whether someone is cheap or not. I would advise an attorney so it is more specific to your situation. A generic one will only cover certain items, not ones that maybe state or carrier specific. There have been posts over the years were a driver or owner had...

A week is a long time. Where are your parts coming from?....Germany? Sounds like they actually forgot to order them, or can't figure what is wrong with it. It does seem like it is a real struggle to get any kind of parts from FL. Then you have to argue with them because every part has to be...

We have been hiring drivers for the last month or so and it is a changing business. Only two out of ten are bonafide candidates. Many without prior or little experience have expectations of a new large sleeper truck, automatic with generator that they can get home every weekend at the owners...

That would work for me. We could always have them bring some ribs to the event as well. One bill would be easier on Terry:7 Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

RE: one more question on my mind Good article with alot of gray area. Still have to wonder as in Rich's example if they wake someone up. At that point, they should be considered on duty which would be a violation. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

It will be a great one. Great show by Lawrence free lunch from Terry free rooms from FEMA (always a possibility) I'm there Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Ditto on Rich's post. Look forward to seeing everyone. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I thought that changed after 9/11 under the national security act? I could be wrong. I thought they could search any commercial vehicle as long as it was a DOT officer. The person in the sleeper would be in violation. Not sure how that would work? Even on probable cause or a warrant...

It should be. The only variance will be on mounting,balancing, and whatever the casing charge is. 25.00 a tire if they are shot, and 40.00 if they are decent. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Yes they can search your truck. Most however won't bother a sleeping codriver unless there is some suspicion of something. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

I hope these last. No real experience with Goodyears. Our Bridgestones have been excellent so it will be interesting to see how they hold up. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

As long as there isn't something pre-existing that she would seek coverage on, they (state) should allow her. Most carriers use a private accidental occupational policy. It would likely have that same language. I would check prior to signing on with a carrier. A recruiter should be able to...

two steers, and they are 395's. I will have the exact tire number when my team sends me the receipt. Size are 22.5 installed in Nashville Should mention, they aren't the ones with the anti-flat stuff. Those are a 287 something? Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Ok. Let us know how it goes. Thanks for the update. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Hey Dave What was the outcome of your a/c issue? Thought I would bump this up. Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

That sounds about right. We just yesterday tried Panther tire program. A set of Goodyears best out the door for 625.00 That included mounting and balance plus a 40.00 per tire casing credit. A pretty decent program Davekc owner 21 years PantherII EO moderator

Thawk wrote You also have to remember, all the loads you see on gps, hundreds of companies and independants alike also see them. So talk about your competition! When there's a drought in expediting, the independants are hit first and hit hardest. You'll get a load to Laredo at times when Laredo...

The original premise of your first post was to solicit drivers and obtain freight for them with a fee. I would read THawks post closely. I think it is very accurate. =========================== You said; its unfair when I take the time and effort to search and book loads that only pay $1,000 +...

I am not sure what time period you were there, but my relationship has been much different. That would include accidents. We had a truck back into one of our vehicles, and Panther and Greatwest did a great job in handling the claim and paying on time. Including lost wages and all costs...
